Can photorejuvenation really fade melanin?

Generally, intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy can help fade melanin, although the effectiveness may vary from person to person. The usual reference price for IPL treatment ranges from 1000 to 5000 yuan per session, and visible improvement can typically be seen within 10 to 20 days. It is recommended to visit a正规 hospital and undergo the procedure under the guidance of a qualified physician. Detailed explanation is as follows:

IPL therapy works by utilizing strong pulses of light at specific wavelengths that penetrate the skin's surface layers to reach the dermis. These light pulses selectively target pigmented areas within the skin, effectively breaking down melanin. The fragmented pigment particles are then gradually absorbed and eliminated by the body, causing pigmentation spots to fade and even disappear.

Patients with rough, dull skin and pigmentation spots usually experience noticeable improvement in skin texture, reduced pigmentation, and smoother skin after multiple IPL treatments. However, some individuals with poor skin conditions may not achieve significant melanin reduction.

Before undergoing IPL therapy, ensure you do not have any photosensitive diseases or other contraindications. After treatment, it is important to protect your skin from sunlight and avoid ultraviolet exposure, which could worsen pigmentation. During and after the treatment period, avoid consuming heavily pigmented foods to prevent further melanin deposition.
